Franky went back together with Marco to his house again, she had settled down her feelings now.
Marco :"Can I call you Xiu Xin from now on ?"
Franky :"Yes"
Marco :"And you can call me Hao Ming from now on."
Franky smiled :"OK Ming ge"
Marco :"I like you're calling me that ... Ming ge ... hahaha.... So, are we dating now ?"
Franky nod and smiled :"Mmm..."
Marco :"I want to see you're wearing the dress I gave it to you on your birthday, can I ?"
Franky :"OK I'll try to wear it. Just wait here." few minutes later she came out from her room "How do I look ?"
Marco :"That dress suits you well, you look great wearing it ! Let's go to have some dinner together outside now !"
Franky :"Wait... I...I... want to put some make up ... can I ?" she got shy .
Marco laughed :"Oh sure you can , go ahead I'll wait for you here."
Franky looked up her old make up tools and she put some powder and blushed on her face, lastly she put a nude lipstick color on her lips. Her make up was very thin, but it made her looks cute as a woman. When she went out of her room, Marco got amazed by her look "Wow, you look gorgeous ! You still can fix some make up on your face after some years !"
Franky smiled :"Thank you, let's go !"
They went to a fancy restaurant that night, to had dinner celebrating her late birthday."
Marco :"Actually I was planning to have dinner on your birthday that night, but you went home. Well, then let's celebrate it today, you can order what you want."
Franky :"OK, you too. What is the special food in here that they served ?"
Marco then chose the special menu for them and told to the waiter.
The wedding of Ethan and Karina was getting nearer, so Marco took Franky to the boutique of his friend to choose a gown for her. She fitted some gowns in there, Marco got amazed seeing her wearing some dresses, she finally chose the dark maroon dress.
That night Marco had asked his make up artist friend to make over Franky, he put a long hair wig on her and gave her some natural make up, she looked very different, Marco almost couldn't recognize her.
Marco :"Wow, you look so beautiful ! Thank you Lucy well done !"
Franky smiled beautifully, while Lucy smiled satisfied :"She is beautiful young lady indeed ! I just give a little touch to make her look charming."
The wedding ceremony was going to start, Ethan's mom and dad were there also at the front chairs,
Marco took her hand onto his hand, they walked together entered the ballroom.
Marco :"Xiu Xin, why don't you try longer your hair ? You look beautiful with long hair."
Franky :"I'll think about it."
Karina saw Franky, she got amazed too, she almost couldn't recognize her.
Karina :"Is it really you Franky ?"
Franky smiled beautifully :"Yes I am"
Karina :"You look different with long hair ! You look beautiful !"
Franky :"Thank you, you look beautiful too. Congratulation on your wedding ! Where do you live after this ? At Ethan's apartment ?"
Karina :"Yes, for now, my father is still building a new house for us to live, I don't want to live with him in his house. I don't want to fight with him all my life."
Franky :"I know how you feel. I trust my brother, he will make you happy !"
Karina :"Yes, I believe in him. Are you dating with Marco ?"
Franky smiled and nod :"Yes we are"
Karina :"Since when ?"
Franky :"Few weeks ago"
Karina :"But I have a feeling he had an eye for you since long time ago, am I right ?"
Franky giggling :"He told me that he was confusing with his feeling toward me, he thought he was gay. But then he was curious about me and he did investigate on me, turned out we knew each other when we were a child."
Karina :"Really ?"
Franky :"Yeah, he saved me from drowning on the lake when I was a child."
Karina :"Oh what a coincident !"
Suddenly Marco came together with Ethan to them.
Marco :"Gossiping about me ?"
Karina :"You're so narcissistic ! By the way you've known each other since you were a child ?"
Ethan :"Really ? Why can't I remember ?"
Franky :"He was the one who saved me from drowning at the lake brother !"
Ethan :"Oh really ?"
Marco :"Yes I was."
Ethan :"No wonder I was thinking why do you look familiar at our first meeting. So, you're the son of that madam who lived near the lake ?" Franky got stunned she remembered that day her brother was trying to grab her hand to saved her but he couldn't reach her.
Marco :"Yes, she was my mom Lily Lu."
Ethan's face turned to be like someone regretful :"I'm sorry Marco, I couldn't save your mom that time, she got float off by the big wave."
Marco got sad, he held his tears from flowing down, he heaved a heavy sigh :"It's OK, not your fault ! Let's forget about it, it's your wedding ! You must be happy not sad now !"
Ethan tried to smile again, Karina also tried to broke the ice :"Yes, it was all in the past, let's get over it."
On that wedding, Enrico met Wendy for the first time, they got quarrel over the food, Franky saw it and tried to settle them up.
Franky :"Hey, this is a happy day please don't quarrel over something silly you two !"
Wendy :"But he took my pie !"
Enrico :"Bu I didn't know it was your pie you placed it on the table."
Franky :"Ok...Ok... stop just take other pie will you Wendy ? I'm sorry Rick, this is my sister Wendy, she's still childish."
Enrico looked confusing :"Excuse me, do I know you ? But you look familiar !" He looked Franky from top to toe then back again to her face "Are you Franky ?"
Franky smiled :"Yes, it's me !"
Enrico covered his mouth he tried to hold his laugh :"Oh my God, so you really a girl ?"
Franky :"Yeah, my name is Francine."
Enrico :"You really made my cousin got confusing all this time, so is he know the truth now ?"
Marco suddenly appeared behind him :"Yes, we're dating now !"
Enrico got surprised :"What ? Since when ?"
Marco :"A couple of weeks ago."
Enrico :"Wow congratulation then to both of you ! Are you getting married also ? In this short time ?"
Marco :"No, I want to make grandpa to like her first."
Enrico :"Yeah it needs some effort. He's a strict old man !"
Marco then took Franky to his grandpa and introduce her to him.
Marco :"Grandpa , I want you to meet someone !"
Mr. Wang :"Who ?"
Marco :"This is my girlfriend Francine Lin, this is my grandpa."
Mr. Wang :"Oh nice to meet you beautiful lady !"
Franky :"Nice to meet you too grandpa."
Mr. Wang :"What are you doing young lady ?"
Franky :"I'm still studying at the university grandpa."
Marco :"She's the groom's sister grandpa."
Mr. Wang :"Oh she is ?"
Franky :"Yes, Ethan is my brother."
Mr. Wang :"Take her to my house sometime Marco ! Where do you live Franky ?"
Franky was about to answer him, but Marco cut her :"She lived in apartment near her university. I will take her to your house someday grandpa."
That night, Franky also introduced Marco to her dad.
Franky :"Dad this is my boyfriend Marco Wang, this is my dad."
Marco smiled, he was happy he finally could meet his future father in law :"Nice to meet you Mr. Lin !"
Mr. Lin :"Nice to meet you Marco, please take care of my daughter well, I'm sorry I can't take care of her well when she was a child. I was too busy with my work."
Marco :"Don't worry Mr. Lin I will protect her well, I've known her for a long time."
When they were in the car on the way to Marco's house, Franky couldn't held her curiousity.
Franky :"Why did you tell grandpa that I live in an apartment ?"
Marco smiled :"He's an old fashioned guy, so I wanted to give him a nice impression of you. If he knew that we live together before we get married ..... "
Franky :"OKOK, I know what you mean. But you can't hide this from him for long, He'll know it sooner or later ! Your cousin Rico knew it right ?"
Marco :"Then we should register our marriage soon !"
Franky turned her head to him :"Are you proposing me ?"
Marco smiled :"No, I'm telling you."
Franky :"I don't think it's a good idea for now !"
Marco :"Why not ?"
Franky :"We should tell our parents and elder nicely not inform them like that, marriage is about tying two families not just two individuals."
Marco :"Hmmm I admire your mature way of thinking. I'll think another way to tell them about our marriage."
Franky :"Are you sure you'll marry me ?"
Marco :"Never been so sure than now."
